Generate migrations between Postgres databases.

Use pgmig to compare the structure of two Postgres databases — a source and a target — and generate the SQL that turns the source into the target.

pgmig connects read-only to both databases and never runs the generated SQL for you: you review it and apply it yourself.

pgmig officially supports Postgres 14–18 — the majors currently maintained upstream — and is tested against each in CI. Other versions may work but are not tested.

Documentation: pgmig.readthedocs.io

Quick start

Say the current database has a users table, and the desired one adds an email column with a unique index:

-- current
CREATE TABLE users (id bigint PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL);

-- desired
CREATE TABLE users (id bigint PRIMARY KEY, name text NOT NULL, email text NOT NULL);
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX users_email_idx ON users (email);

Print the migration SQL that makes current match desired, using uvx:

$ uvx pgmig generate \
    --source postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/current \
    --target postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/desired

ALTER TABLE "public"."users" ADD COLUMN "email" text NOT NULL;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX users_email_idx ON public.users USING btree (email);

Or from Python:

import pgmig

sql = pgmig.generate(
    source="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/current",
    target="postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/desired",
)

print(sql)
# ALTER TABLE "public"."users" ADD COLUMN "email" text NOT NULL;
# CREATE UNIQUE INDEX users_email_idx ON public.users USING btree (email);
